Flying will be a lot cheaper and quicker, but if you have the time and money the ferry plus continental trains would get you there and be a lot more fun... there is nothing quite like cycling onto a massive cross-channel ferry. Although if you're flying budget I think they land at 'Hamburg' Lübeck anyway!

I rode through this area as part of London - Copenhagen a few years ago. As far as route goes I just selected 'cycling' on google maps and tweaked the route around where I was staying each night. That generally resulted in lots of lovely small lanes through farmland, one section through a military area (on public roads though) which was desolate but nice. The only tricky bit was when it sent me down a 'cycling path' through a forest, which was absolutely stunning, but made up of deep sand so impossible with 25c road tires. It's flat as a pancake if that's your thing, but I had a bloody great time. Cake stops were spread out but excellent when I found them...

Walked past as the ambulance was getting their trolley out to load the patient up. Looked very serious but I'm reading it as positive that they were being taken off to hospital relatively quickly. Fingers crossed for the rider.
It was a left turning Tarmac truck btw, turning from Bloomsbury St into Great Russell Street. Rider either turning left as well, or going straight on. -

Ha! They've totally ripped the design off, an exact copy! I'll wager that the quality is nowhere near as good though, and that the ring is crap in comparison.

No cheap, but worth it. I got one from the original kickstarter, but they sell them at Tokyo Bikes, BLB etc.

Interested in the Ultegra cranks. Do you know the BCD?
I rode Calais to Amsterdam a few years ago - can't find or remember the route, apart from that we stayed pretty near the coast most of the way. We did stay at the Cube House hostel in Rotterdam though, which was super cool. On site secure bike storage as well (at the time).
